It would be a Class A nightmare for 95% of us.

That engine isn't obscure by any means, but it's no Ford 302 either, meaning you're not going to find piles of performance parts and -- just as important -- piles of documentation and web users to help out when you have questions.

That's just my opinion without having done a lick of research. Don't get me wrong, I think there would be at least a hundred MVS users cheering you on if you did decide to tear into this project, me being one of them :-).
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

No one I know of is turbocharging those engines. Space is limited and engine compartment heat would be a very hard problem to deal with.
